Depending on the exact shape, probably a combination of the SLICE command and the different boolean commands (UNION, SUBTRACT, INTERSECT). You know you can extrude with a taper, right. Extrude a circle with a taper for the leading edge, union it to a rectangular block, and slice away what you don't need. Do you really need it to be a solid? I prefer modelling with meshes; I get more control over the surface resolution. It can take a lot longer to model, though.
Ive used a mesh to solid lisp in the past (don't remember where I got it from), and didn't like the results.
